Our 6th Annual Titan Motorsports Open House took place this weekend and we’re happy to announce that we raised $16,154.00 to be donated to various charities. This event has grown every year since its inception and this year was no different with over 1,100 RSVPs through Facebook in the days leading up to the event. Our entire complex was filled to capacity along with nearly every available square inch surrounding where ever a car could be parked. We want to thank all of our great fans and supporters for their patience throughout the day and for helping make this event as great as it is. We are already looking forward to next years event and hope to raise even more money for charity and providing a great place for motorsports enthusiasts to gather and enjoy our facility and the many great cars that attend.

This year we will be making donations to our two chosen charities the Just in Queso Foundation and Florida Little Dog Rescue. The Just In Queso Foundation provides aid to individuals, organizations and communities in need and has been a partner charity for us since our first event in 2010. Florida Little Dog Rescue helps save dogs on Death Row at local Animal Controls. These are dogs that can’t be adopted out directly from Animal Control, mainly for medical reasons. They are rescued, and receive the attention they need so that they can be adopted into a forever home. In addition to donations to this great charity ,we also had them bring out some of their available dogs to the open house, we’re happy to report that we were able to help one of the dogs find it’s forever home at the event.

We want to thank our event sponsors and participating vendors for their gracious support and attendance:

Titan Motorsports has acquired Jestr Tuning and retained the services of John Estrada as our full-time house tuner. John holds a degree in Computer Engineering from UCF and have previously worked in Computer Forensics and Training and Simulation for projects related to the DOD. His background as a software engineer and architect has allowed him to become proficient in programing in C,C++,Python, and many other programming languages in addition to having experience with ISO9141, CAN BUS, and other protocols.

With over 18 years of experience tuning electronic fuel injection, John is also well versed in most standalone engine management systems as well as factory ECUs (including but not limited to repair and Eprom tuning).

In addition to the Standalone tuning options, we also offer re-flashes for many vehicles utilizing open source applications and our Tuning partners. For vehicle specific applications or platforms not listed please call or email. Traveling tuning, remote tuning, dyno days, and wholesale pricing for shops is also available, contact John or visit the tuning section of our website for more information.

The Titan Motorsports Nissan GTR performance camshaft kit features a complete set of (4) 276-10.6mm lift camshafts optimized to improve the power band of upgraded VR38 engines. This combination is mild mannered enough for street driving while providing additional performance if utilizing upgraded turbos. The Titan performance camshafts provides a great improvement in mid-range power without sacrificing gains at high RPMs. Depending on your turbocharger choice and supporting upgrades, gains of 25-120HP can be achieved.

This kit has been tested in many VR38s producing well north of 1300hp across the globe. We do suggest upgraded valve springs when using this camshaft kit, however they are not required.

This years Sema Show in Las Vegas was the biggest in history, and after walking the show for days and not feeling like we’d seen everything, we’d have to agree. After a long weekend of racing the countless aisles of show floor took its toll on our aching feet even with the most comfortable of shoes on. This was the year of Tra Kyoto as Rocket Bunny and over fenders seemed to be on every other car in the show. We could count no less than 25 FRS sporting their kit, and probably half as many E92 M3s. Their recently completed Ferrari 458 was one of the most talked about cars prior to the show on social media and a trip by the Nitto booth showed the car lived up to the hype in person. The FRS continues to be one of the most tuned current releases and the show was littered with companies showing their latest wares for the car, from forced induction, wide bodies, air suspension and wheels. The popularity of exterior wraps continues to grow with a number of new colors displayed at the show including many variations of chrome foils and even animal prints ( although it was odd to see 40-50 cars wearing the same matte blue or red colors from last year). Drifting continues to grow in popularity and the show was used as a launchpad for a number of new deals and news about the series. Interest in the 2JZ in FormulaD has grown and the interest for a Titan Motorsports program continues to grow, we’ll see. Rotiform, Forgeline and HRE Wheels adorned the vast majority of the cars in the performance hall with new finishes and designs for 2014. The trend in the wheel world seems to be going towards directional designs, which may be the “new concave” for 2014 in the stance world. Fabrication and minimalism also seems to be on the rise, a trend we can agree with as builds relied less on body kits and bling to stand out and focused more on one off parts and attention to detail. The quality of cars and innovation at Sema continues to blow our minds, we can’t wait to see whats on display next year.

Seminar details and topics covered:
During this seminar attendees will be introduced to Haltech’s Platinum Series ECUs and shown how to setup and start an engine from scratch, including crank/cam trigger setup, ignition setup and base fuelling setup. This class will be an intense introduction to Haltech Engine Management targeted at individuals with some tuning experience, a laptop is REQUIRED for all attendees so each student can follow on and learn with the Haltech ECU manager software in a hands on way.

Information presented during the Seminar will be accompanied with live demonstrations and simulations as well as a comprehensive take home booklet for all attendees.
Spaces are limited so contact us now to reserve your place!

The open house is open to the public and features a car show with trophies and prizes for the top vehicles in several “best of” classes. This year we’ve changed the format to offer less classes with more of a focus on “best in show” based on clean modified vehicles. We’re also going to have a Ruckus class this year after the huge response from the Ruckus community in years past, so bring your 2 wheel vehicle and show them off as well.

The dyno format will change this year as well, instead of having a general dyno day, we’ve reached out to shops and racers in the area to have their big power and unique builds take a spin on our Dynojet 424. Expect to see some friendly competition and big power numbers as a result.

This year will also see the return of our Bikini contest with $400 going to the winner, and $150 to the runner up. Tijuana Flats will also return offering free food to attended, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to their Just-In-Queso charity. We’ll be increasing our prize give-aways as well and have reached out to our vendors and partners to donate many great items for the raffles and prizes.

Representatives from the top brands in the automotive aftermarket industry will be on site to display their products and answer questions on their product offerings. A raffle will be held to benefit the Just-In-Queso charity, prizes include gift certificates, apparel, parts, and memorabilia from these great vendors.

2011 is off to a great start, and as a result we’re looking to expand shop and fabrication departments. Applicants must have at least 2 years experience working in an automotive or dealership environment with knowledge of aftermarket/performance parts. Experience with Fabrication or EFI systems is also a plus.

Candidate must be able to work efficiently and productively to diagnose, repair and maintain customer vehicles, as well as install aftermarket performance parts.

Applicants please email your resume to nero@titanmotorsports.com. No phone calls will be accepted regarding this hiring, qualified applicants will be contacted for a follow up interview based upon their resume.

This weekend we had the pleasure of attending the annual Celebration Exotic Car Festival in nearby Celebration,FL. This great show benefits the Special Olympics and featured hundreds of exotics scattered around downtown Celebration.
